Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radio frequency (RF) switch adapted to reduce third order intermodulation (IM3) products generated as RF signals propagate through the RF switch is disclosed. The RF switch includes N semiconductor switch segments, and N−1 phase shift networks, individual ones of the N−1 phase shift networks being coupled between adjacent ones of the N semiconductor switch segments where N is a natural number greater than 1. In operation, when the RF switch is on, IM3 products generated by the RF switch propagating through the N−1 phase shift networks are phase shifted such that the IM3 products are at least partially canceled.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A radio frequency (RF) switch adapted to suppress third order intermodulation (IM3) products generated as RF signals propagate through the RF switch comprising: N and only N semiconductor switch segments; and N−1 and only (N−1) phase shift networks, individual ones of the N−1 phase shift networks being coupled between and in series with adjacent ones of the N and only N semiconductor switch segments where N is a natural number that is at least 3, and where…
